Nam Bo Boutique Hotel: "What a cute little 7-room boutique hotel!"

Review by: Asiadvisor001 | Source: Trip Advisor
"Centrally located, facing the pier and walking distance to the old market, Nam Bo is not only cute but located in the heart of the live part of Can Tho. Ideal to stay before/after a cruise on a Bassac Boat . and Nice restaurant on the roof top with view on the river"

Tugu Bali: "Tugu Hotel Bali is a luxurious slice of history"

Review by: BTS_Rider | Source: Trip Advisor
I stayed in a Dedari suite while I was at the Tugu Hotel Bali. I loved having the private plunge pool and outdoor swing daybed. I also quite liked the outdoor bathtub with attached koi pond. However, the hotel decor is what's so amazing here, and it is definitely one of the main reasons for staying at this hotel. Everywhere you look there are beautiful antiques and artefacts. It's a living museum. I also took in the Thursday evening cultural dinner which includes a Balinese dance and music performance. If you are a traveller looking for a truly unique Bali experience this is the place to have it.

Sanak Retreat Bali: "As good as it gets"

Review by: Toutnoix | Source: Trip Advisor
"Thank goodness that , on our first visit to Bali , we chose to stay at Sanak. I shudder to think that we might have selected somewhere in traffic-clogged and frenetic Ubud or near Denpasar. Of course I accept that many travellers visit the island for different reasons, but if you want a rural idyll with picture post card views of the sort of idealized landscape that you thought might have disappeared - choose Sanak. The individual accommodations ( we stayed in a one bedroom ) are very spacious, comfortable and spotless. The staff are all delightful , friendly and helpful . Food and drink are excellent - what a delight to look out over paddy fields with scuttling ducks, and distant mountains as you eat. Make the journey - you'll love the place Stayed January 2017, traveled as a couple"

KHWAN BEACH RESORT: "Real gem"

Review by: Luciaxxx2015 | Source: tripadvisor.com
"We have stayed for 4 nights at khwan beach resort and every moment of the stay was remarkable! Extremely helpful staff, accomodating every request, private pool and great interior with attention to every detail. There is nothing that we could have expected better. The staff provides service to and from the AirPort. As French / English speakers from Lausanne we also felt a touch of home and had no communication problems as the owner is From France . Would highly recommend to any one traveling to kosamui: whether a family , couple or friends. Tip: try the Mathis restaurant or delivery . The kitchen is French fusion and the chef makes amazing fondant au chocolat. For those preferring local menu, there is a great choice Thai food equally as great "

Neeleshwar Hermitage: "Wonderful holiday in a beautiful setting"

Review by: jcj60 | Source: Trip Advisor
hank you to all the staff at Neeleshwar for making it a truly memorable stay. The location/setting is beautiful and the sunset over the sea and lagoon breathtaking. A wonderful place to relax (although not the place to go if you want a lot of activities). We enjoyed the yoga, the spa and a keralan cookery class with the chef and have already managed a very passable chicken curry and poratha at home!! The rooms are very comfortable and worth upgrading to the seaview rooms which are just lovely. There are outside bathrooms with all mod cons which work very well in the heat. Lovely to relax on the balcony or in the hammock with a drink. The food was superb with a choice of curries in the main restaurant or fresh seafood on the beach. Christmas sorted with an excellent selection of gifts in the shop! Cant wait to return ....

Inle Princess Resort: "A unique and beautiful place to stay"

Review by: traveldaydreamer | Source: Trip Advisor
Set on the majestic, vast and serene Inle Lake, with its floating villages, this beautiful resort is nestled amongst tropical gardens and pods of lily pads. We enjoyed staying in a lovely, spacious lake chalet which had both an indoor and outdoor shower. The service was first class, meals excellent and the pampering spa amazing. Thank you for a most enjoyable stay. We hope to return.

Muang La Lodge: "Special property is a special part of Laos"

Review by: pam10000 | Source: Trip Advisor
"The resort is beautiful. Each detail has been well thought out. The staff is professional and wonderfully trained. The property is maintained well and offers ""serious"" food - all beautifully presented. My cottage/room was lovely. I enjoyed everything about the property and would highly recommend a visit. There is a great deal to do in the area and they staff have beautifully organized excursions on which you take a picnic lunch. Hair dryer, robe, safe in room, great laundry service, and great service in general - the staff are very sweet, kind, and professional. Again, each detail is beautiful and appropriate."

Rice & Zen Boutique Resort: "A small peace of Heaven here in Ko Samui"

Review by: Florentsen | Source: Trip Advisor
"A funny story about this resort. My partner and I were at Ko Samui for the first time 3 yrs ago and found this place – a small piece of heaven here on earth. We were actually the first ones ever to check in to Sea Dance who just had opened. This resort has since been on our favorite list. Now 3 yrs. later we were able to have another stay here and it’s still as amazing as last time. They had since last time added some more bungalows (all hidden behind hedges you can’t even see them) they also had a new reception and a Spa department. It all looks so great. As Scandinavians we love the design of concrete together with wood. We both tried the oil massage and yes, it’s more expensive than the one you get on the beach – but then again, it’s so much better. Coming here I strongly suggest that you try their food in the restaurant. I had their Fish Taco – the best one I ever had. We got to talk to the chef and they even make their tortilla bread themselves – and trust me, you can taste that. As a final request to the reader planning to go there – you have to try their Passion Fruit Mojito (no words needed) Would I go here again, NO DOOUBT. We love this resort and their staff."
